    This is no surprise. Benfica is on great form this season and they're actually unbeaten. Had Luke taken those two glaring chances, we'd be having a different conversation. Same goes all the way back to Granada and Cadiz. Both Luke and Depay missed sitters from 2 yards out. I can't put that down to the coach. Koeman however has to answer to the lineup he started this game with and the substitutions made. When you have 3/4 of your attaching players injured, this will tend to happen against decent teams.

    When I saw the starting line-up I knew it was late, where to start, oh boy!
    1. Up front we all know there is 0 chemistry between Luuk and Memphis, Memphis drops deep and when he turns he has nobody to link up with because Luuk is not a link up player to triangulate and play 1,2s
    2. The midfield, Pedri and De Jong were actually providing penetration and doing well until the most ridiculous tactical change ever when Koeman dropped De Jong to defence instead of sending on Mingueza who is a roving, hard workng defender like Araujo. After this change Benfica took control of the match
    3. Sergi Roberto wide on the wing (please look at Kevin's analysis of his horror shows out wide last season) does not work, he is no longer quick and injuries have slowed him down
    4. The formation as Kevin has said does not work, the rotation of players and not picking players that fit the system and settling on the ideal starting 11 has cost us.

    The difference one man makes to a team who is still full of stars is unthinkable. They lost their best player, their captain, their talisman.
    Their morale is battered. You can see it in their eyes, the once great busquests have no spirit left in him. Pique, though deteriorated as a player is playing just for the sake of it.

      @@stormgamezzhd1343 lmao the REAL quote was that Luuk de jong is better then Neymar at heading crosses which is a fact if you think otherwise you watching the wrong sport.
      I wasn’t even talking about luuk de jong I was just saying Neymar can’t finish . Neymar is constantly through on goal and fluffs his chances . That’s what I’m talking about I wasn’t even talking about luuk de jong
      But if you want me to answer your question he’s not a good finisher either

    Trust ESPN to completely ignore the winning team who played a near perfect game but focus on how bad the losing team was. Give credit to Benfica. Barcelona are in a crisis but Benfica played REALLY well.

      This team has been sliding for years now. People blamed Valverde, then Setien, and now Koeman. The problem runs deeper than the coach.
